DESCRIPTION
Thanks to Hiroi for leading this mirroring project.
Prior to the takeover by Yahoo!, GeoCities had a Japanese subsidiary, GeoCities Japan. GeoCities Japan was headquartered in the Nihonbashi Hakozaki Building in the Nihonbashi area of Chūō, Tokyo.
As of February 10, 2016, GeoCities Japan was still online, with no signs of upcoming closure. Its member sites are still accessible, and it is still accepting new account registrations, but now all services are only available in Japanese.
On October 1, 2018, Yahoo! Japan announced the closure of GeoCities Japan effective March 31, 2019.
